>can't keep up with the CPU under load (as in, at all) I think this is exaggeration. I have 3600 with stock cooler and at full load clocks doesn't seem to fall

  Playing rainbow six siege would push the temp to 92 degrees within a minute of 3d rendering. It still is running at about 3.7-3.8ghz, but I don't want it to be that hot. IIRC, running cpu-z stress test also mostly just hit under 90 degrees. It also idles at 40 degrees, despite my apartment being 65 degrees F. Funnily enough, siege has recently released a vulkan based build that runs at a cool 74 degrees. The wraith stealth is just an incredibly anemic and disappointing heat sink. It's "functional"but only at average loads. This is in comparison to the previous generation's cooler for the midrange CPUs that was about twice as large. It's not a deal breaker, my 3600 is still miles above anything I've ever run previously, and it isn't dying under the heat, but it might just run one year less than it was initially designed for at those temperatures
